Fabian Socialism

Fabian socialism is a type of socialism founded in 1884 in Britain. It sought use of the democratic framework to achieve gradual conversion to socialism. This approach originated from the movement for utopian socialism. Its nine[1] founding members were Frank Podmore, Edward R. Pease, William Clarke, Hubert Bland,[2] Percival Chubb, Frederick Keddell,[1] Henry Hyde Champion,[3]Edith Nesbit,[4] and Rosamund Dale Owen.[2][1] Havelock Ellis is sometimes also mentioned as a tenth founding member, though there is some question about this.[1]
